Thanks, I was looking for a quick copy/paste blog entry to help me find the largest directories on my 4G compact flash that runs as "SSD".
Since the laptop is quite slow and low on memory, I altered your line a bit:
du -h /|grep M|sort -nr|head -15
du -h to have readable output grep M to prevent sorting large numbersK head instead of tail so that it doesn't have sort more than necessary sort -r to reverse the order for head
